Apostle Benjamim AshongĀ
some hindrances to so winning. by Kingsville Royal Scribe
At our Warfare Wednesday service, Pastor Femi Paul led the church in a fiery session of prophetic intercession themed āHinderers & Hindrances.ā Drawing from Ecclesiastes 2:21 (NKJV), we were reminded of the grave injustice when a person labours with wisdom, knowledge, and skill, only to have their reward snatched away. This, the scripture declares, is āvanity and a great evil!ā But God's intention for His people is different. As declared in Ecclesiastes 2:24 (NKJV & TLB): āThere is nothing better than that a person should eat, drink, and enjoy the good of his labour ā for even this pleasure comes from the hand of God!ā We stood in prayer declaring that in this Month of May, no hinderer will frustrate our labour, and that by divine enablement, we will: Soar beyond limitations Win battles seen and unseen Accomplish what once seemed out of reach Achieve divine goals Prosper with the work of our hands Change levels and status in every area of life And with one voice, the church proclaimed: "Enable us, O God... in Jesus' name, AMEN!"

At our 5-hour prayer meeting, Overturn, Pastor Nelson shared a powerful charge on Hindrances to prayer:Ā 1. Selfish MotivesĀ ā Praying with self-centered desires places us at the center instead of God.Ā 2. UnbeliefĀ ā God gives freely, but we must ask in faith. The issue isn't His giving, but our receiving.Ā 3. Under-Praying / Spiritual WarfareĀ ā Like Elijah and Jesus, we must persist in prayer. Don't quit too soon.Ā 4. SinĀ ā God accepts the man before the sacrifice. Cain's offering lacked what Abel's hadāpurity. Don't come before God with strife or unrepentant sin.Prayer is not time wasted, but time invested.

Delson reads and explains sutta MN 2 All the Taints - This is how to handle and eliminate Hindrances to the meditation AND life.
There are hindrances to healing that keep us from receiving the wholeness God wants to give to us. We must keep in mind that it is always the will of God to hear us, and it is always the will of God to heal now. However, sometimes we harbor things in our heart that prevent us from being healed. Once we honestly search our hearts and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal what is hindering our restoration, we can rest in the belief that He wants us to be whole and healed in all areas of our lives. (Matthew 8)
During this talk, Peter reviews the 5 Hindrances, which he describes as āenergy dumpsāāsetting them aside frees up energy for further development of the 7 Awakening Factors, creating more opportunities to liberate the mind from dukkha, the distress and confusion resulting from the action of the Hindrances. Here are the notes prepared for this talk:Ā [ā¦]
During this talk, Peter describes the development of Access Concentration, the quality of consciousness that is not affected by the Hindrances.Ā This is cultivated through developing the procedure of aiming/sustaining attention intentionally to develop stability and tranquility in the mind, preparing for the practicing vipassana, insight into the conditioned nature of the mind.

The history of humanity is replete with examples of trailblazers able to think outside the box, disrupt existing conventions, pioneer new ways of thinking, and advance into new territory. We might think of great geniuses of the past like Thomas Edison, or perhaps the more recent technological pioneers like Steve Jobs or Elon Musk. Such people have often had the ability to lead and advance with extraordinary creativity, conviction, and courage, and have achieved significant things. Why are there now so few of these kinds of leaders in the Church? Does the pioneer's aggressive and disruptive approach to convention inevitably jar with Christian virtues like humility, love, and sacrifice? Or is it rather that we have excluded entrepreneurial courage, creativity, and confrontation from Christian values? Does our fear of the abuse of power end up stifling the necessary freedom of pioneer leadership? Are we often in danger of overplaying Christ's servant-hearted qualities at the expense of his aggressive and confrontational decision-making? How might church leaders encourage more business entrepreneurs in the Church to succeed and advance the kingdom in a wholly Christlike manner? ** ENJOY POD OF THE GAPS?
